Heat Exchange: The Classe 5 models now have an independent heat exchange for each group. The temperature stability is dramatically increased compared to its predecessors the Z-11 and S-27. (Result: No more steaming from grouphead or burnt tasting espresso)

Single boiler: Single 4.0L boiler with heat exchange design.

110v Power: Simple 110v power with a 1600w heating element. Heat time is approximately 12-15 minutes from cold.

Pump: Light-duty vibrating pump. This can be good or bad depending on your view of espresso philosophy. Natural pre-infusion?

Portafilters: Unit comes stock with two portafilters, a single and a double.

External Plastic: While the Classe 5 exterior and panels are made of plastic, which can wear over time, the interior parts and components are well designed, durable, and well built.

Manual Control: No programmable buttons on the ST-1. This can be good or bad depending on your espresso philosophy.

Espresso Connection Recommends:

Reduce Wear: In order to reduce wear & tear on your Classe 5 ST-1 it is best to leave your machine on at all times if using on a daily basis. Less energy is required when the machine is left on and less fatigue on the copper tubes, pipes, brass etc. The Classe 5 ST-1 has an auto-refill feature.

Water Filtration: Filtered tap or bottled water alone is not enough. Espresso machines require softened/treated water to prevent scale build-up. Mix 2-3 parts distilled water to one part filtered (bottled) water. This will greatly prolong the life span of the machine and improve the coffee flavor. Our target is number 150ppm of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS).

Care for your Classe 5 ST-1: Clean your grouphead(s) daily with a brush and damp towel. Backflush daily. Clean the steam wand(s) after every use; purge before and after every use. Clean, disassemble and soak portafilter(s) and baskets at lease once a week in Puly Caf detergent.
